Flying Eagle

A fine art print of 'Flying Eagle' (1977) by the German artist Georg Baselitz (born 1938). Eagles appear frequently as a motif in Baselitz's paintings, beginning in the 1970s. This linocut shows an eagle flying upside down, alongside three patches of paint that suggest the colours of the German flag. Baselitz has stated that his technique of inversion (drawing upside down) was a way of emptying his paintings of content, so that we might no read meaning into the symbols he paints. Yet it also allows him to use highly charged symbols such as the eagle and the flag, both emblems of national history. The print is specially available to accompany the Museum exhibition, Germany Divided: Baselitz and his generation. Copyright: (c) Georg Baselitz 2014. Please note this print is available in the small size only (40 x 50cm) on request of Baselitz's studio.
